BrandonMeliissa He doesn’t collect his salary as president, unbelievable, he’ll probably donate it to some needy charities. What a jerk.

Trump the biggest crook and lier on this Earth.

Who cares

So what? unless it's illegal, go find a real story.

That’s so he can pay off those who are loyal !

How much did the elite dems contribute to their foundations? How about some number on the most cheated upon female and her low life trailer park 'husband'.

let us know when you start to investigate the clinton foundation FakeNews

Who does the Donald J. Trump Foundation help?

So what if they did. How come you guys weren’t curious about where Clinton got her money or Obama for that matter. If you look probably find it was way more than that

And?

Well good i guess.

So what ?

Why is trump donating money to trump own foundation if Hillary Clinton dud that trump would be saying lock her up .

Gheee.... how big of him!...................................................(puke!)

This is another cover story to take the heat off the abuses of the Clinton Foundation's ongoing criminal investigation which is due to be exposed any day now.

How asking your God Hillary where Haites money is 🤔

Wow 🤬 posprez

Personal piggy bank...fraud

So why aren’t you talking about the CLINTONS and their money scandals but you’re so curious about Trumps tax returns

And then what?

Crooks

And 90% of the money goes to legitimate charitys. 🤔 wanna compare?

Who cares other than CNN and the goofball Democrats who think Trump is ‘Hitler’?

How is this legal?

Does anyone know of any actual good that this foundation has done?

Good for the Trump company. Keep it up it gives cnn something else to complain about.

Money laundering

The entire Trump family has played dirty pool for decades. Transferring money here and there to avoid paying taxes, to avoid paying workers their due moneys.

According to who?. CNN hate trump news daily ,hourly 🙄🤪😳🤷🏽‍♀️

Now do Hillary Clinton’s foundation fake news . Funny how she’s no longer in power and donations due up . Can’t sell access Anymore?

Good that he's supporting his foundation.

That is simply a money recycling scheme which build a conflicting interest gains with the Tax Payers help/support of such IRS money strategies, legal or not is just helping increase poverty to next levels. Not Kool! Others are gettting screwed-up because of such scheme practices

Another Trump Foundation. The to pay for another portrait, a statue... Another scam to avoid paying taxes.

Odd, Trump never donates to this foundation, now he has an extra 1/2 a million to donate. As charity donations are limited by the IRS, a percentage of income for a tax write off. How did Trump get the extra money. Hello, he is using the Presidency to enrich himself via his sons.

Had to, otherwise Melania would leave

Got to take a tax break where you can find it

SO.

And this means what CNN It’s ok, we understand you’re simply setting the stage to “de-bunk” the insurmountable evidence that is about to come out against the Clinton Foundation.

You mean something like the Clinton Foundation and Hilary? Why aren't you investigating that?

So wait... Now the Russians only bought out Trump for 500k? Shiiiiiid

So! Get HillaryClinton then talk! Ridiculous

truth and CNN Truth

Doesn’t al gore donate to his own green charities? This is normal for the rich to donate to their own charity.

So what?

And?

Another TAX scam!

So Donald Trump donated Donald Trumps money to a Donald Trump Foundation.... groundbreaking story . Keep up the solid work. 😂

CNN is FAKE NEWS. This reporter chloe_melas lied on air about Morgan Freeman harassing her and even with her blatantly lying, they STILL REFUSE to fire her: StartSpreadingTheNews

wow you just keep proving you are FakeNewsx

It’s how rich making donations for themselves lol 😂

So! At least it wasn't the Clinton Foundation taking money for favors from Middle Eastern Countries...

Smart business man. Part of why he got elected, and the same thing your rich democrat friends do also.

Trump family laundering money, really!!! Anyone who lived in NYC or within the surrounding area could have told you that. We know he's a crook and tired to tell the nation back in 2016, Go figure.

So?

Oh my, how terrible CNN. Ask HIL-LIAR-RY she got donated THIS Year. It was tons more you can bet your Fake News on it.

So what?

He is complete trash, has no problem cheating on his taxes and stealing from our military, our education system and our infrastructure......in the meantime; the middle class pay for everything in this country.

Chump change compared to the Clinton’s

Haha....i see how this works...companies donate to charities...get tax break. Charities use money to purchase from same company....but trumpsters say...nothing to c here

What is he watching on tv today? Top notch reporting

CNN never investigated Clinton foundation which was a pay to play for dictators, lobbyists, despots so they could have a seat at our WH table. Clinton’s has to return that $$ & are now on a tour to regain $$! They are greedy & liars! Haitians hate the Clintons

lol. I’ll create a foundation. Donate all my salary to it. Write it all off on my taxes. Then I’ll allocate funds from the foundation to pay for the foundations cars, office space, employees meals. Lol. What a fucking joke.

Good for the Trump companies. It's good to see corporations step up and give to charities. if you are looking for a charity scam, look at the Clinton Foundation with their numerous pay-to-play schemes.

Isn’t that the definition of money laundering? realDonaldTrump is just a crook, through and through.

He must be buying political influence from himself. Yeah, that's it.

Thought it was interesting Trump donated 100% to charity where the Clinton Foundation donated 6.4%. Where did that Clinton Foundation money go?

Doesn't it mean that, no taxes was paid?

Trump has a perfect right to give himself a tax free donation. JUST ASK HIM. The donation supports his campaign promise to make America great. He has kept that promise. He has made America 'A GREAT MESS.

And?

Our President everyone!!!

How much in taxes did he pay through the foundation?

Donated money to themselves in order to avoid paying taxes...

Self donations should be called what they are: Stealing!

Tax fiddle.. Pays money to himself so he does not have to declare it..and he talks about every body else..trump is s scumbag

$500.000? that's like you giving me $20.00 can't you find a bigger number Like the Clintons have? hahahahahahahahaah

Tax free baby.

Shocker.. Trump donates to his own foundation. Sounds like a set up by Trump. Again, making the media look stupid.

Nobody cares.

And for decades, no one batted an eye when the clinton foundation recieved millions from russian corporations. Now russians pay the clintons hundreds of thousands of dollars for 'speeches'. Its the 2 sets of rules that we see between democrats and repulicans.

catherineanntuc And if you look at past tax returns for the trump foundation you’ll find $100,000 donation to Citizens United in 2014. Likely more in other years I didn’t review

Donated money to his own company ?that’s like donating money to himself people.

Always nice when rich people help others

Zzzzzzzzzz

Not your business. Who do you donate to? And how much? Charities you donate to doesn’t need to be public. Ask the Clinton foundation

Russia and Iran donated millions to the Clinton Foundation while HRC was Sec of State. That's not important though. PayForPlay

so?hillary stole 6 billion from state dept.

Pederfectly legal, where were you when the Clintons donated 1 million of their personal money to the Clinton foundation and got to write it off. I’ll wait for your answer!!!!

Ok so what

Tax evasion

Oh ok, so that’s how you get out of paying taxes. NoteToSelf 🇺🇸👎🏼🇺🇸

And Obama donated $150 billion of OUR MONEY to Iran... Whatcha think about that

Oops. Guess the truth always wins.

Someone set the precedent...

🇺🇸TRUMP2020🇺🇸

Just like Hillary Clinton donated to the Clinton Foundation and from CNN - Silence

Only to be used by Trump.

Nothing illegal about it. Just like the years he paid no taxes because he lost money. Those are the rules. They apply to all of us.

Trump is so corrupt, even his charity is corrupt.

also known as money laundering.

Still no where near what the Clintons did!!!!

That’s supposed to be news fake news media

I gave money to my kids. Am I in trouble? Such Fake News

How about the money Clinton Foundation stole from Haiti?

WHEN Lincoln was nominated the nomination was made because of his ability as an, debater, and campaign strategist. A post which then carried with it the obligation of extensive stump speaking It was also a recognition of his sacrifice of time and money for twenty years.

🤔

No one cares

So he took his money out of one pocket and put it in another pocket. Well that's it. PEACH 45 I said PEACH HIM !!!!!

Trump’s legal team lost the right to hold off on this case going forward while he is President. Barbara Underwood the NYork AG is prosecuting the entire Trump Family who have misused the Charity Trump Foundation for their own personal gain & the case is moving forward. Justice

realDonaldTrump BBCWorld stucam7771 Wish I’d known this from Trump’s annual release of his Tax Returns! Damn those fact checkers, oh wait they can’t fact check without the returns. Trump is a FALSE narrative of truth. He will never tell the truth. PERIOD

Right?!?

So?

The article says it’s impossible to know the purpose of the donation. But like clockwork, the derpy Dems come out beating their idiot drums while screaming guilty before the facts come out. It must suck to be a weak-minded liberal. Always mad over nothing.

Donald Trump.....Thanks Donald Trump Donald Trump.....Donates to Donald Trump See a pattern?

Mueller is a heroic executive RULE OF LAW representative 4 Americans. It will NEVER be the same 4 Trump or America I’m a Christian Republican WE are blessed AGAIN I prayed 4 Clinton I pray 4 Trump NO CHRISTIAN enjoys JUSTICE for people BUT understand we MUST have LAWS

This is what made him so appealing to most. He paid his own way in the election process and was not beholden to others.

Another pseudo crisis

is this the same charity that paid hush money to Stormy Daniels?

Probably trying to cover up the fraud.

The true alligator in a Washington swamp

Now do the Clintons and their foundation.

ho citofonato è non c'era nessuno

So what!

By 'President Trump's company' I think you mean U.S. taxpayers

Buffett, Gates, Bezos, Slim...They all do the same thing, and the media fawns all over them as “philanthropists”.

and?

Instead of reporting with the objective to indict, maybe the media should educate people how to run a successful business by reporting on interesting business deals. Not every deal is evil.

You say “a” tax return. Right now the Trump enterprise is under audit therefore returns are not being released. So really who’s returns are you referring? You never stop do you? Making up stories and lies.

Ummm come on With such a target rich news environment there must be something. Mars Landing, Migrants, oh wait there is that reliable unnamed White House source which indicated president Trump does NOT finish a roll of TP before asking for a new one. Now that is a news story.

Charity begins at home😉

Awesome Go Trump

Is this legal?

Your mean donated to his personal slush fund

Should he have donated to the Clinton foundation

If it was illegal or money laundering the IRS would have flagged it and filed charges right there. I’m curious how much attention y’all paid the Clinton Foundation which literally was doing same thing plus some. Getting paid half a mill to speak by foreign nations and donations

Impeach

The Mueller Investigation in a Nutshell!

Giving money to your own foundation is illegal now? This is to distract from the fact that the Clinton Foundation stold billions and was also a front for laundering money and taking bribes. Haiti wants to know where there hundreds of millions went Hillary?

reports everything about Trump as if it was illegal, underhanded or unethical. The irony is that are the violators of the public trust by constantly reporting FAKE NEWS.

I am sure that he isn’t doing anything illegal - he wouldn’t give CNN the satisfaction of actually printing a “true story” carry on folks, just CNN creating more FakeNews

Ya know who donated zero dollars to the Trump foundation? Russia.

Why have CNN gone quiet on the Russian collusion angle?

Is that not 'Emperor Trumpoo's 'New Clothes' ploy; like prementioned, used, to evade paying taxes, a while ago'?

Good job. That money will be used for charity. Thanks President Trump! Standard practice

oh wow he uses his money for charity how sick of him

Money well spent! Stopped ISIS Great trade deals Manufacturing revival Better ins premiums Tax revenue up Unemployment down Free speech come back

so what

When you bust trump Republicans point at Hillary, when fox news post about Obama, Republicans cry 'why is anything about race' they want it in anyway they can get it. They will never admit to any wrongdoing by trump, he is their GOD.

And how many dollars were donated to homeless shelters? That’s what I thought.

Isn't that Money Laundering

A billionaire donate less than one million to his own fondation, so?🧐

Everyone else is talking about the surge on the US by the illegal aliens who put law enforcements safety at risk of not going home to their families, and CNN is talking anything Trump they can make negative including cropped pictures. Losing credibility...

Prison? Did you say it’s time for Prison? Emoluments!!! donnygoestojail

Like they always say, charity begins at home..

knows the Clinton Foundation is a huge sham and fraud that is about to be exposed so they are going to begin trying to make similar accusations towards Trump to confuse people in order to protect their masters at the DNC. They will also do the same with Clinton’s emails.

So in other words he’s not taking a “salary” cause he can make more by paying himself while evading taxes but fly around on taxpayers dollars?

All the dirt digging you do and that's what you come up with? What percentage of the total donations does $ 500,000 make up?

The Clintons didn't donate any money to their foundation? The only reason there is any charity is for a tax write off.

If

U mean the company he currently doesn't run? Just curious what the intent is here. So are you implying something is illegal? Unlike the pay for play Clinton Foundation that has lost 90% of it's donations because there is nothing to be gained anymore. Hmmm.....

'donated'

WUT tax returns?

Clinton Foundation 🤔

Great, they are charitable. Not getting money from foreign governments like Clinton foundation

So he donated $500,000...to himself.

Tax Free Stipend

So how much money did the Clintons hide under the Clinton Foundation?

realDonaldTrump thought you might enjoy this, since you love to bring up the clinton foundation. Guess which one is going down?

Good for you Mr President- If the Clinton’s can do it so can you

OK? Point? You said nothing when HillaryClinton took the millions given to her by sexual predator Weinstein and put that into the Clinton Foundation. Hypocritical much? Oh wait, it's CNN

possibly another fraudulent tax deduction? Trump doesn't donate his money, he loves it way too much.

Most successful idiot batch of criminals in a long time.

Donated not transferred you are the enemy of the people CNN

I thought he divested himself from their companies.

A donation or a repayment?

But we’ll ignore the Clinton foundation because it’s CNN

Great story, but let’s make real change and report on all the companies doing the same thing hiding billions in total, not just Trump and Republicans.

Let’s talk about the Clinton foundation

Gotcha not Enemy of the People

Who Cares

That is fine, say the Trumpers, it is only a crime if a Clinton does it.

All standard practice. I suggest Trump launches an investigation into CNN's finances and it's board members 👌

Why would you do this realDonaldTrump ? The foundation does not need money. Was this a mistake? Did you approve this tranfer? You are smarter than this.

Wait....is that what we asked for? Because if I was stupid I'd believe the $ wasn't going back into the pockets of Trump.

Donating charity to yourself. Who would of thought of that?

I believe America will be saved by tax accountants.

Smells like a tax scam.

and that is illegal ?
